Fall is almost here and it's time for our new students to arrive and our returning students to head back to Simon. I'd like to take the beginning of a new year to introduce myself, as it is a bit of a homecoming for me as well.

I am Ariane Krenichyn, the newest Associate Director of Admissions and the Director of the Early Leaders program. I am so excited to be here, especially since I am an '05 graduate of the full-time MBA program and a former Early Leader. I can't wait to get to know the classes of '10 and '11, as well as to begin crafting the '12 class. It's an honor to be a part of the team that helps to choose Simon's next wave of exceptional individuals.

I was very involved with the Simon Volunteers while a student at Simon and continued some philanthropic endeavors into my post-Simon life. In addition to those activities, I love to snowboard, play volleyball and hike with my French Bulldog, Lucy. Please feel free to stop up and see me anytime- I love meeting current and prospective students.
